OPENSTACK PRIVATE CLOUD ADMINISTRATION AND DEPLOYMENT Training

Course Description

This course covers the general administration and step-by-step installation of the OpenStack open source IAAS (Infrastructure As A Service) cloud solution, widely used for creating private clouds. After a short cloud and OpenStack primer, this course presents the architecture of OpenStack and introduces its base components and administration in detail. Components covered are the Horizon GUI dashboard, OpenStack CLI, the Keystone identity system, the Nova compute service, the Neutron network service, software-defined networking, the Glance image service, the Cinder block storage service, the Ceilometer metering solution, the Heat orchestration services, and the Swift object store. The last chapter presents typical OpenStack installation methods and explains the manual OpenStack installation in detail. Besides in-depth theoretical coverage, students also will practice hands-on exercises with all studied OpenStack components and with the installation in their own OpenStack lab system.

Linux Unix Uses & Stats

Linux supports many efficient tools and operates them seamlessly. Because it's architecture is lightweight it runs faster than both Windows 8.1 and 10.

Security:

Because Linux is an open-source software, anyone can contribute code to help enhance the users’ experience i.e., adding features, fixing bugs, reducing security risks, and more.

Software Development:

The terminal in Linux is a *wild card*. You can do almost anything with it. This includes software installation, application and server configurations, file system management, and etc.

Large-scale:

Open-source projects benefit from having an attentive community. As a result, Linux is more secure than Windows. Instead of installing anti viruses to clean malware, you just have to stick to the recommended repositories.

Efficient:

Developers have the convenience of running servers, training machine learning models, accessing remote machines, and compiling and running scripts from the same terminal window.

Free:

Linux is free (you can put it on as many systems as you like) and you can change it to suit your needs.

Cons

Learning Curve:

Linux is not for everyone, there is a learning curve in switching to Ubuntu. To actually learn Linux efficiently would take a user one to several years.

No Tech Support:

Unlike Windows, there isn’t a dedicated tech support, so getting help for things is up to you.

Designer Compatabilty:

Linux is not as user friendly as Windows or as ‘straight out of the box design’ As an example for design choices, Adobe hasn’t released any of its products to Linux users. So it’s impossible to run them directly. The Ubuntu alternative is a free software called GIMP.

Gaming Capabilities:

Most games aren’t available in Linux. But that’s not to say you can’t make it happen, it's just not as easy.
